The aim was to study the bacterial load and isolate potential pathogens and food spoilage bacteria from kitchen tables, including preparation tables and dining tables.
Methods.
A total of 53 households gave their consent for participation.
The samples were collected by swabbing over an area of 5 cm by 5 cm of the tables and processed for bacterial count which was read as colony forming units (CFU), followed by isolation and identification of potential pathogens and food spoilage bacteria.
Result.
Knowledge about hygiene was not always put into practice.
Coliforms, Enterococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Proteus spp., and S.
aureus were detected from both dining and preparation tables.
The mean CFU and presence of potential pathogens were significantly affected by the hygienic practices of the main food handler of the house, materials of kitchen tables, use of plastic covers, time of sample collection, use of multipurpose sponges/towels for cleaning, and the use of preparation tables as chopping boards (p<0.05).
Conclusion.
Kitchen tables could be very important source of potential pathogens and food spoilage bacteria causing foodborne diseases.
Lack of hygiene was confirmed by presence of coliforms, S.
aureus, and Enterococcus spp.
The use of plastic covers, multipurpose sponges, and towels should be discouraged.
